... An estimated 6,400 barrels of yellowcake uranium were discovered near the Muammar Gaddafi stronghold of Sabha towards the end of the uprising that resulted in the ruler’s death in October 2011. The UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has performed an inventory of the stock – which is kept in an ordinary warehouse, next to an estimated 4,000 surface-to-air missiles previously procured from Russia – and technically maintains control over it. Yet a report from a visiting journalist in the UK’s Times newspaper last month alleged that the stockpile was in the control of a local weapons dealer, and...

 

Israel has established a clear-cut red line when it comes to preventing the transfer of advanced arms from Syria to Hezbollah. And unlike the Obama administration, Israel means what it says. Israel has conducted military strikes to destroy advanced Iranian and Russian weapons in the Syrian regime’s hands before they could be added to Hezbollah’s growing stockpile of offensive arms aimed at Israeli population centers or used to thwart Israeli defense systems. Instead of providing covert support for Israeli operations, or at least staying out of Israel’s way, the Obama administration is deliberately compromising Israel’s security by leaking sensitive information...

Mormons are known for proselytizing other faiths, rather than being the subject of being proselyted. I hadn’t considered why Protestants get upset at Mormon missionaries, or even why Mormons get so upset when evangelicals try to proselyte during General Conference weekend. I also hadn’t considered Mormons proselyting or getting upset as being a double standard. There was an interesting exchange in Season 3 of Sister Wives. (I know that there are at least 6 seasons, but I don’t have cable and have refused to pay for episodes when I have Netflix already. Netflix has recently added season 3, so I...

ESSEX, March 5, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Jill Recknell is mourning the loss of her grandson, despite the fact that he is alive and well. It’s just that, according to five-year-old Zach Avery and his parents, he’s not her grandson anymore. He’s her granddaughter. Zach’s family, who live in England, says that he was a normal boy up until last year, when he became obsessed with the cartoon character Dora the Explorer and started dressing in girl’s clothing. Zach before becoming a "girl." “He just turned round to me one day and said, ‘Mummy, I’m a girl,’” Theresa Avery, Zach’s mother,...

The Wall Street Journal broke the news this weekend that, even as President Obama was telling the American people they could keep their health plans, “some White House policy advisors objected to the breadth of Mr. Obama’s ‘keep your plan’ promise. They were overruled by political aides.” Overruled by political aides? This is simply damning. It’s not easy to get a lie into a presidential speech. Every draft address is circulated to the White House senior staff and key Cabinet officials in something called the “staffing process.” Every line is reviewed by dozens of senior officials, who offer comments and...

What will keep ONE out of Almighty God's perfect Heaven will not be one's application and practice of conservative virtuous living or the base indulging of a decadent life style BUT REJECTING Almighty God's saving solution, which is ONLY found in Jesus Christ the Lamb of Almighty God. (John 3:36, Rom. 10:2-4). Almighty God wants to help you and to bring you and your loved ones unto Himself, to LOVE you as only He can (John 3:16-17, Acts 16:28-31). The question we must ask ourselves is, "Will we let Him?" As mankind’s godless rebellion today knows no boundaries and all...

The rollout of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, has been full of snafus and politics. Less discussed are the individual people whose coverage is changing, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. Edith Littlefield Sundby counts herself among those whose coverage is taking a hit. She wrote about her case in a powerful op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on Sunday. In her early 60s, Sundby suffers from stage 4 gallbladder cancer. According to her op-ed, less than 2 percent of people with stage 4 gallbladder cancer survive five years after diagnosis. She's had it...

The Department of Veterans Affairs dished out hundreds of thousands in cash bonuses to managers who oversaw projects that led to veterans’ deaths, disease outbreaks, a backlog in disability benefits compensation claims, and construction delays. In fact, 13 such instances show bonuses totaling over $550,000.

<p>LOS ANGELES (AP) — The health care overhaul might get a Hollywood rewrite.</p> <p>The California Endowment, a private foundation that is spending millions to promote President Barack Obama's signature law, recently provided a $500,000 grant to ensure TV writers and producers have information about the Affordable Care Act that can be stitched into plot lines watched by millions.</p>

My first vanity, likely my last. Finally - someone is fighting back. A new website "Don't Enroll- Alaska" (http://www.dontenrollalaska.org/#)is now up and running. In addition to the website, ads are running on local TeeVee and local cable channels. I've not seen that is is part of a National campaign, but it should be. Check out the site and let your friends know - don't enroll. Std disclaimer - I've had nothing to do with this site, but thought is was on point enough to share here for others to see, it is time to start fighting back....

A survey released Monday by the Commonwealth Fund, however, suggests that the site's problems haven't had much of an impact ... yet. It found that 5 out of 6 people who would be served by the exchanges had yet to shop there. Although 70% of those who visited the exchanges rated the experience as "fair" or "poor," only about 5% of those surveyed said the websites' technical problems were a factor in them not enrolling. So if the survey's sample is representative of the country as a whole, the real and serious technical problems at the exchanges' websites are affecting...

Football uniform creativity has been taken to the next level, as Northwestern will shed its familiar purple to go red, white and blue for its Nov. 16 game against Michigan. The uniforms, designed by Under Armour, will raise awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to empower servicemen wounded in battle.

"President Carter inherited an impossible situation -- and he and his advisers made the worst of it."-Gaddis Smith On this day in history 34 years ago, remember, remember the 4th of November; when militant Islamic students stormed the U.S. embassy, holding 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. To commemorate that takeover, and to demonstrate opposition to the new president's call to "tone down" the common, daily-expressed slogan, "Death to America" chants, "tens of thousands" of protesters gathered in Tehran outside the old U.S. embassy in their own "million Islamist march" (or, as they call it, "National Day to Fight...

AUSTIN — Nadia Bolz-Weber bounds into the University United Methodist Church sanctuary like a superhero from Planet Alternative Christian. Her 6-foot-1 frame is plastered with tattoos, her arms are sculpted by competitive weightlifting and, to show it all off, this pastor is wearing a tight tank top and jeans. Looking out at the hundreds of people crowded into the pews to hear her present the gospel of Jesus Christ, she sees: Dockers and blazers. Sensible shoes. Grandmothers and soccer moms. Nary a facial piercing. To Bolz-Weber’s bafflement, this is now her congregation: mainstream America. These are the people who put...

Can John F. MacArthur - or any other Calvinist - please differentiate between (or what constitutes the difference between) those who were truly never saved, and those who are saved, but are now living "out of fellowship" with Christ? I have read in the MacArthur Bible where he seems to boil it down to... by their fruits shall ye know them. But how much bad fruit or lack of good fruit does one have to show to give evidence that they were never saved, or that they are still saved, but have merely fallen out of fellowship with Christ? Example:...

They’re saying he said one thing and not the other. The president said, “If you like your plan, you can keep it.” For 95 percent of the American people who have health insurance, that is the case. For a small number in the private market, they will do better because of the Patient’s Bill of Rights that is built into our legislation — no preexisting conditions, no lifetime limits, no copay, all the rest of that for certain people. So, they will do better. That’s 95 percent of people who have health insurance, have it through their employer, through Medicare,...
